Changes to be made?

Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah may not be with the Bulls come next season 

I'm convinced that the Bulls will be a solid team come next season. I do feel however that this team may look a lot different than this past season's team. There have been rumors  floating around that they might trade Jimmy Butler during the offseason. If this were to happen it would be such a DUMB move. Jimmy Butler is the best player that the Bulls have right now. Why the heck would they even consider doing that?! Makes no sense. Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah will be a free agents this offseason. Pau has expressed that he does want to stay in Chicago. Pau has been a very productive player during his time with the Bulls but I think it's time for him to go. Pau is a good player don't get me wrong, but he's getting up there in age. I also think that his skill set does not fit well with the way Coach Fred Hoiberg wants to play. My view on Noah is the same as well. Again a great player but he isn't getting any younger and he continues to struggle to stay healthy. And as for Derrick Rose......... These last few seasons I've had a love/hate relationship with Derrick. There are nights when he is the best player on the floor. This is when he attacks the rim and does not settle for long range jump shots. His quickness and explosion is still there at times. And then there is the bad Derrick. This Derrick makes bad plays with the basketball and takes jump shots that are outside his range. I cringe every time Derrick takes a contested three pointer. That is not your game Derrick! Attack! Attack! Attack! That is when he is at his best. Having said all that, I'm willing to give Derrick another year. When he is on he is one of the toughest players to guard in the NBA. After next season Derrick will be a free agent so it will be interesting to see if he wants to re-sign with Chicago. This Bulls team needs to focus on rebuilding through the draft and exploring whatever players are available in free agency. Changes need to be made! This current roster isn't going to get it done......


Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Bullsssssssssss

Season over :(

It is a sad time to be a Bulls fan as the season is officially over. The Chicago Bulls will be watching the playoffs from their couches this season. Who would have thought? Going in to the season the majority of people thought that the Bulls would contend for the number one or two spot in the Eastern Conference. But once again the Bulls caught the injury bug losing Joakim Noah who was the heart of this Chicago Bulls team for the season in January. The Bulls did show some flashes of being a good team by getting quality wins against good competition. However, their ups and downs ultimately lead to their downfall. The Bulls would have a big win against the Cavs and I'd say to myself, "Wow this Bulls team is good!" Then the next night they would play a bottom feeder in the NBA and they would get their butts kicked. It was a frustrating season to watch to say the least......

John Paxson and Gar Forman 

At this point I think it's time for the Bulls to make some serious changes. They should fire their General Manager and Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations- Gar Forman and John Paxson respectively. However from what I have been hearing it is likely that both Forman and Paxson will keep their jobs. This front office has done nothing to improve this team over the years. They keep thinking that what they currently have is going to win them a championship. But I've got news for ya....... THE BULLS NEED TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE ROSTER!!!! I would say the Bulls should hang on to Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose. Everyone else on this roster is fair game to get rid of. They might as well just blow this whole team up and start from scratch. It will be an interesting offseason and hopefully the Bulls will add some pieces to help this team.




Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Bullssssssssss

Bulls Playoff hopes all but dead

Barring any type of miracles, it looks like the Chicago Bulls will not be making the playoffs this season. The Bulls have lost two straight games and now remain three games behind the Detroit Pistons for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. With only three games remaining in the regular season the Bulls would have to win out in order to give themselves any chance of making the postseason. And even if that happened it is still unlikely that the Bulls will make the playoffs. This season the Bulls have suffered numerous injuries which in the end came to haunt them. Joakim Noah, Jimmy Butler, Nikola Mirotic, Mike Dunleavy, Derrick Rose, and Taj Gibson have all missed multiple games this season. It is hard for any team to win games when you don't have a healthy roster throughout the year. Now I had my concerns going into the season about how the Bulls would play under new coach Fred Hoiberg. But NO way did I think the Bulls would miss the playoffs this year. The last time the Bulls missed the playoffs was during the 2007-08 season.  Even if the Bulls did make the playoffs I don't think they would have gotten past the Cleveland Cavaliers whom they would play in the first round. Lebron James and Kyrie Irving would be too much for the Bulls to handle. The season overall has been a letdown and this Bulls team was just average at best.
